As Sybiha noted, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin on October 10 – on the anniversary of the first massive attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure in 2022. He called it a conscious demonstration that in three years the Kremlin has not changed its aggressive actions, terrorist methods and ultimatums, and continues to reject any meaningful diplomacy and peace efforts.
Russia is worse than Hamas. Even Hamas agreed to a ceasefire and peace efforts. On the contrary, Moscow continues the senseless war it started – a war it cannot and will not be able to win.
– Sybiha clarified.
He reminded that according to Article II of the Convention on Genocide (creating unbearable living conditions with the aim of destroying a national group), depriving people of energy in conditions of falling autumn temperatures is tantamount to genocide.
Sybiha calls "strong and consolidated" pressure on Moscow the only way out of the situation.
Economic pressure in the form of tough sanctions, military pressure in the form of stronger support for Ukraine, political pressure in the form of complete isolation. Putin must feel that the price of continuing the war exceeds the price of ending it. He must feel that continuing this war threatens his regime.
– the diplomat summarized.
